Q: 2003 airport extreme plus time capsule

I have a well functioning 2003 airport extreme.

I have a Time Capsule as well which I am currently using.

I thought that the Time Capsule if placed in the adjacent room would extend my range but it has not.

How can i configure these, or should I just get a second airport extreme and plug it in to the adjacent room and if I do this would it work.

I don't have option to run ethernet cables out of this room.

thanks in advance.

iPad 2, iOS 6.1.1

    It should if configured properly. Please check out the following Apple Support article for details on extending your Time Capsule with another Apple router. Note: This article is a bit dated and is assuming that you are using a Mac or PC that has version 5.x of the AirPort Utility.

     

    If you only have the iPad, then it would be using version 6.x of this utlity and the step-by-step directions will be different.
